Judge Blocks Louisiana Law Requiring 10 Commandments in Every Classroom

Interfaith Alliance, an organization that advocates for “healthy boundaries” between religious and government entities, praised the ruling in a press release shared with Truthout.

“Today’s ruling is a victory for the Constitution and for true religious freedom — which requires ensuring that no one religious group is allowed to impose their viewpoint on all Americans,” said the group’s president and CEO Paul Brandeis Raushenbush. “Louisiana’s Ten Commandments law is blatant religious coercion that should have absolutely no place in public schools.”
